How does MCX gold price impact retail jewellery rates?

MCX reflects real‑time global moves and currency shifts. Retail jewellery prices change more slowly because jewellers update tags after assessing inventory costs, hedges, and local premiums. If MCX holds gains and wholesale premiums rise, showrooms usually adjust within subsequent sessions. This is why gold price today can differ from MCX.
